By any measure, the 2013 Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities (CPID) co-chaired by Chris Gleason and Milt Spaniel and conducted October 4-6, was a great success.  With the expansion of the in-person business solicitations this year, the gross total is $17,957 with: $6,647.35 from five gates and three business locations; $4,660 from 114 individual knights; $5,325 from banks and businesses; $1,000 from an anonymous donor; and, $325 from 15 knight widows. 

The four Arkansas beneficiaries of this campaign selected by the Council include: First Step ($3,428) and Abilities Unlimited  ($4,307) in Hot Springs, Camp for the Blind $1,720), and Special Olympics ($5,175). The State Council's portion (15%) will go to The Arc in Little Rock.

There was a total of 123 knight volunteers involved with 16 working more than one time slot Friday - Sunday. NIneteen knights were also involved in directly soliciting banks and businesses.  A special thanks goes to the 18 spouses of knights who helped with the campaign.  In most cases, the women worked with their knight, but a number volunteered because their spouse could not.

Knights personally contacted many local and area businesses and received donations from 52 of them as follows: ($250+ donors are listed bold) American Mortgage, Annie’s Accents and Accessories, Beckwith Visions Florist, Brown Bag Bistro,
